mori art museum.

on monday, i decided to take a day trip to the mori art museum in roppongi.

roppongi is bizarre. 

as soon as you step into that ward, you feel like you're in some alternate-style america. everything is in english. everything! i mean, that isn't to say that most of tokyo is in english...but in roppongi, the english is in bigger font than the japanese. 

so, the mori art museum is part of the mori tower in this ginormous complex known as Roppongi Hills. this place is insane. i tried to take some pictures, but its so big that i couldn't really get a good shot to give it any justice. its filled with about a million designer stores, movie theatres, restaurants, some of the most expensive apartments in tokyo, and of course the mori art museum.

roppongi is the site of the american embassy, so you see lots of foreigns walking around. i mean, its nice and all...but it freaks me out. i can't even imagine how much money was put into this place.

the mori art museum was on the 53rd floor of the mori tower. when you buy a museum ticket, you can also stroll around the observation deck that overlooks the tokyo tower and all of the city. amazing views! as soon as i stepped into the observatory, i could not stop smiling it was so crazy! 

the museum had this exhibition of current modern art from India. it was pretty good. the museum is huge, and it wasn't crowded so that made it even better. its funny, i only notice when places are not crowded now.
